Hello, the ./discourse-setup bash script deosn’t populate DISCOURSE_SMTP_DOMAIN in the PUPS configuration file. I used rake admin:create inside the container, to find the following impact to GUI; [image] [image]

[صورة] Ethsim2: the ./discourse-setup bash script deosn’t populate DISCOURSE_SMTP_DOMAIN This variable sets the EHLO hostname used by the client during the SMTP conversation. Almost nobody needs it and it almost never matters what it’s set to. (I have encountered zero situations where it ma…

[صورة] Ethsim2: this was because DO block port 587 How did you discover this? Did you try the emails:test rake task, and if you did was it useful? Did you know it existed?

Thanks, Michael - here’s what actually happened on today’s install and how I worked out that port 587 was the root cause.
